Detroit Tigers' lineup: Gerald Laird will DH against LHP Jon Lester, which may become the norm

BOSTON – A Detroit Tigers team
looking for offensive punch will use Gerald Laird as designated
hitter tonight, which may be more than a stop-gap situation until
they find a suitable right-handed hitter to fill the gaps left by
Austin Jackson's injury and Ryan Raburn's demotion to Triple-A
Toledo.

Danny Worth will play second base
and bat second, and manager Jim Leyland said fans can expect to “see
a little more of Worth” as the struggling team tries to find ways
to bootstrap together some production at their most troubled position
this season.
